George Clooney's proposal
An unforgettable evening in spite of everything. The famous actor confided with humour, the backstory of his wedding with Amal Alamuddin Clooney. On the night of his proposal, not everything went according to plan. The dad of two said to Drew Barrymore:
It was a disaster, I had planned it. I had put a ring in a drawer behind her, I had prepared dinner, etc.
At that point, Amal and George Clooney had been dating for about six months. When he asked his now-wife, to go and get a lighter from the drawer - so that she could find the ring - she suddenly became upset, thinking that the jewel belonged to an ex-girlfriend. Fortunately, the actor clarified things by putting his knee down and proposing. All ended well, despite the twists and turns, as the 44-year-old lawyer finally said 'yes'.
A love story that lasts
The iconic couple then got married at a lavish venue in Venice, Italy, in September 2014. Since then, they have had twins who make them very happy. In this interview, George Clooney also confides that he still gives love letters to his wife. 'She's an extraordinarily funny, intelligent, beautiful and tall person' the Ocean's Eleven actor said.
Amal Clooney had this to say about her husband:
I'm so happy there's someone like him in the world. I never imagined that I would spend the rest of my life with him or that we would have this wonderful family. It took me by surprise
